CAPSULE FOR PREPARING A BEVERAGE BY CENTRIFUGATION IN A BEVERAGE PREPARATION DEVICE AND DEVICE ADAPTED THEREFORE
First Claim
1. Capsule that can be inserted into a beverage production device for preparing a beverage from a substance contained in the capsule by introducing liquid in the capsule and passing liquid through the substance using centrifugal forces for producing the beverage which is centrifuged peripherally in the capsule relative to a central axis of the capsule corresponding to an axis of rotation during the centrifuging operation comprising:
- an enclosure containing an amount of beverage substance,a cup-like shaped body comprising a sidewall,an upper outer wall for closing the body,and a flange-like rim extending outwardly from the body comprising an annular raising portion forming a restriction for the centrifuged liquid flowpath when the portion is engaged by a pressing surface of the beverage production device.
